Abstract
This study investigates the impact of Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices on environmental behavior within the educational sector, specifically focusing on private universities in the Punjab region. Employing a structured questionnaire, data was collected from 300 employees, analysed through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to determine the relationships between various GHRM practices and their effects on environmental sustainability. The core GHRM practices examined include Green Recruitment and Selection (GRS), Green Performance Management and Appraisal (GPMA), and Green Training and Development (GTD). The findings highlight a significant direct relationship between GHRM practices and environmental sustainability, underscoring the pivotal role of HRM in fostering an environmentally sustainable workplace. Additionally, the study reveals an indirect relationship between Green Training and Development (GTD) and environmental sustainability, mediated by pro-environmental behaviour. This underlines the importance of embedding ecological consciousness and empowerment among employees to achieve sustainable environmental outcomes.
